“And the host…” continued Mr NVN in his best David Attenborough impression “gives up all of its goodness to the parasite who steals its food and lives inside it, so the host gets tired and hungry and sometimes dies”.

“Yes” continued my husband rapidly transforming before my very eyes from TV naturalist and child educator into Homer Simpson “you are a parasite but not as much as your…” and before he could name a relative of mine, ensuing I forever live in fear of my daughter naming her at family gatherings, I spilled my tea onto his lap and normality was restored.
